I'm really worried because I used the mankind unwanted kit for abortion on the 26th of March and started bleeding the next day. It's been 9 days now, and I'm still experiencing a lot of bleeding and quite a bit of pain. The kit mentioned that bleeding could last anywhere from 9 to 16 days, so I'm uncertain if I should just wait it out or if I should consult a gynecologist right away. Is this normal, or should I be concerned and get it checked? What would be the best course of action here?
Visit Gynaecologist immediately that could be incomplete abortion where few products of conception might be there ,get yourself checked and treated

I'm a bit worried. I had protected sex yesterday and just to be extra sure, I took a pregnancy test today which came back negative. But then, I got my period later, though it was a little late. Do I need to take another pregnancy test, or should I be concerned about getting pregnant? I really don't want to be pregnant right now. Can you help me figure this out?
It's reassuring that the pregnancy test came back negative, especially since you got your period, even if it was a bit late. Delayed periods can sometimes happen due to stress, hormonal changes, or other factors. Since you had protected sex and the test is negative, there's no need to worry about pregnancy at this point, but if you're still concerned, you can repeat the test or consult with your doctor for further peace of mind.
